Big Sam eyes Yakubu for West Ham

FORMER Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce is eyeing up a move for Ewood Park hot shot Yakubu – for a cut price £1million.

West Ham United are in the market for a striker after last season’s immediate return to the Premier League and Yakubu is understood to be high up on ‘Big Sam’s wish list’.

The Hammers are believed to have put aside £4million to land a striker to score the goals needed to keep them in the top flight - and Yakubu’s bargain price tag will allow them to offer him a lucrative personal package.

Yakubu has already attracted significant interest from the Middle East and Asia after Rovers’ relegation to the Championship, but is understood to have his heart set on staying in the Premier League.

Steve Kean would ideally like to build next season’s campaign around the Nigerian, after his 18 goals in all competitions last time round, but appears to be fighting a losing battle.

The 29-year-old made an instant impact after signing for an estimated £1.5m from Everton on the final day of last summer’s transfer deadline.

Kean will attempt to convince the striker to stay at Ewood Park to help the club back into the top flight but, with a £1m relegation clause inserted into his contract, Yakubu holds all the cards despite being under contract.

Yakubu has scored goals throughout his Premier League career, although injuries have hampered his progress.

He has hit double figures in a season for Portsmouth, Middlesbrough, Everton Leicester and Rovers and believes he belongs in England’s top tier.

Yakubu has already admitted publicly he wants to play in the Premier League next campaign, despite enjoying life at Ewood Park, and is expected to get his way.

Losing Yakubu for just £1m would be another heavy blow for Rovers, who expect to also lose prized asset Junior Hoilett for a cut price fee.

The winger is out of contract next month and a move abroad would leave Rovers looking at less than £1m of compensation.

Meanwhile former Ewood Park favourite Colin Hendry has held talks with Kean about the possibi-lity of joining the coaching staff.

Hendry and Kean are understood to have met on Tuesday, after months of tentative discussions, with Hendry likely to join the club for next season in some capacity.

Well Yak has made himself very popular and will command a large salary if he goes for a bargain basement price,same with Hoilett begs the question why do all our players go for next to nothing do Kentaro or whoever negotiates these contracts not know what they are doing?
Well Redknapp's available. I bet Mrs Desai has not got a clue and her nephews wont know unless informed by our fans, not that he would come here anyway.

Well its not good the worst close season since Paul Ince was appointed looks like the clown is staying and the fan's opinions do not matter will it dawn on someone when our first home game attracts less than 10k fans? All they have to do to raise an additional 2 million is to fire off the clown and appoint Curbishley or a decent experienced manager.

What idiots would allow a clause to be inserted into a contract that allows a player to leave for less money than he cost, even if he becomes one of the premier league's top goalscorers. Oh, yes its our masterminds steve kean and venkys.

Your spot on about the 2 million but Curbs would not touch this lot with a barge pole, where stuck with the owners till they sell up and it's only my opinion the best way for the fans to make them do it is make them play football in an EMPTY stadium.

That is disgraceful LP slagging off a Rovers legend like Hendry...he may (in some eyes at least) be making a mistake in joining the current circus but the guy has more knowledge of football than Kean will ever have and he surely has to be given a chance at our club. I for one welcome him into the club and hope it can be the start of some decent people being brought back into the club.

Hendry! Legend! Get real, this is the man who went on strike to get a move to Man City and later sulked and stitched Jack up to get a move to Rangers, he also stole £91,000 of his next door neighbor. I'm afraid you need to take those rose tinted spectacles off.

Having seen this website mentioned frequently on Rovers related posts, I finally got round to having a look. My thoughts regarding Hendry are at best ambiguous: I have no feelings either way with regard to his character or previous behaviour. However, I would be very careful about the content of the website you mention. It seems like a rant and whilst it may be true, it may also not be. So far Hendry has chosen to ignore it, but he may decide to take legal action, especially as there is a growing backlash against what is referred to as internet bullying or trolling. If he wins and it is proved that there is no basis for the allegations made, then you may also find yourself in trouble.
As I said, I have no ulterior motive or knowledge as to the veracity of the statements it makes. I did have concerns about it on reading it and would be very careful about treating it as gospel.

Come to think of it SK just convince me why any player would want to stay or come to Ewood other than for money.

Come on Venkys have you thought yet or do you prefer to keep your thoughts to yourselves just in case. I bet Venkys are sweating on the bottom line that Kean is going to be in big demand for the top jofb at Spurs - he is too good for the championship surely

The Hendry issue is a difficult one. He is a hero for what he did on the pitch in two spells scoring the winner in the Cup Final and being a key part of the Premier League winning team and who can ever forget him trying to head the ball on the floor in the penalty area amongst flying boots at Everton away on the title run in?
.
But off the pitch he has been judas 3 times now including stabbing Uncle Jack in the back which was very bad and led to relegation in 1998/99 season. The stuff he is saying about Kean is 100% against the fans and he seems to be deluded.
.
Sorry FR but at present I come down on Hendry will be part of the problem not the solution.

As the colinhendrylies website has been up and running for months now I would suggest that if Hendry was going to sue he would have done by now, all of which begs the question....why hasn't he sued?

Because it must be true is the only answer I can come up with

We have been relegated. We have complete parasites in charge at our club. Who knows what shady dealings have been going on?

Whilst I cheered his name from the terraces then, I hardly think Colin Hendry now, either from a personal or football perspective, is a good thing coming to the club. He is being brought in to protect parasites. But we should cheer him for that?

No one is saying cheer him or kiss his backside when he joins, but is it ok to slur and insult him instead??? I know exactly what has been going on for 19 months and as I have stated numerous times, I am disgusted at it and hate everything this club has become, but the likes of the old whinging men on here, people have lost sight of what BRFC means to them, not Venkys, not Kean, but the Club. In the hay-day Colin Hendry was as much a star as Shearer, Sutton and Flowers. The way the oldies are attacking him on here is simple, because he dare to speak up at a time WE all wanted change at the club, so what!!! we want someone like that at the club...don't we, or do we want Alan Curds, Harry Redknapp, etc...yea course we do, but we ain't getting it, so yea better the oldies stay away until you get what you want and then come back and reclaim your seat...which I have no doubt will still be available in the year 2020.

Lol - that's still the weird thing isn't it.

No other decisions matter when you have someone so detrimental as Kean at the club. From a footballing, financial, or just a PR perspective, Kean being around is the worst thing possible.

So why is he still here?

As for not being trolling, and them having nothing to gain, can I point out the news item this morning about the woman who has just won the right to force Facebook to reveal the identity of the cyber bullies who have been perseucuting her? What do those people have to gain? In what way do they benefit from such sick statements as they were making about her, apart from making her life a misery? Explain how, on it's most basic level, the two situations are different.
As for Hendry not suing: he's been made bankrupt. Where is he going to find the money to engage solicitors at the moment? Please tell me you have a better argument for believing things than "he hasn't sued them, so it must be true!!"

interesting point Anal, as it was you who pointed out originally that I needed to check my spelling - I have no real quarms with you as you rightly point out, this is for opinions, therefore my opinion has been put and because it fails to follow the path of those that have become blinded by their hate for the V and SK, cannot, or will not, accept the flip side of the coin, or in my case 'sitting on the fence' simply because I want and will continue supporting my football team....and that I recall by you and your fellow pie eaters was classed as 'disgusting'.

No, its not personal, just an observation. Why so touchy - have I touched a nerve? I have no interest in reading anything else on that website, I was just concerned as it keeps being mentioned on THIS website with an inference that it was definitely true, when there is no way to confirm that. I felt that bearing in mind what I mention in my other post (probably just above this one) regarding the Facebook situation, it was worthy pointing out that not everything you read is the truth and some people are about to land up in a lot of trouble over comments they have made online.

Well said and a constructive argument to the issues raised.

It's hardly trolling. What do those people seriously have to gain by stating such information, if it is not true ?

I for one welcome him into the club and hope it can be the start of some decent people being brought back into the club.
Mr French, I have to disagree with you here over Hendrys inclusion onto the staff down at Ewood.

I wont go down the personal route with Hendry but, solely down to his ability or non ability as a coach. His track record thus far is poor to say the least.

For is it not that he would have forged his reputation long ago should he be of good repute in the game ?

His tenure at Blackpool was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster and, this is from folk's who have supported them for generations. The set up was a absolute shambles under him. The reasons as to why can be discussed by one and all ?

Our club is rotten to the core with these scurrilous odious imposters and, imo, this move for Hendry will end in tears for all party's.

My belief over Hendry is that he was a thoroughly outstanding defender through the outstanding coaching he received and, not that he his a thoroughly good coach ?

I believe the 'Odious One' is becoming marginalized in the world of Football and, he his scraping the bottom of the barrel over Hendrys possible inclusion ?

Nothing HE does down at Ewood will ever count for anything. He patently is not up to the job of managing and, I see nothing to change my mind.

Divide and Rule maybe a little extreme here but, we are not far off the truth as far as I'm concerned.

Hope all is well Mr French ?

Legal aid? For slander / libel? Just to make sure, I have just checked a number of websites dealing with legal aid entitlement and as I thought, they are all very clear: legal aid is NOT available for these cases. I need a reality check?
He has been declared bankrupt. Fact. These sort of cases can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds and there is of course no guarantee of success. Show me one solicitor who will take on such a case for a person known to be bankrupt, which by its very definition means he cannot guarantee being able to pay legal bills in the event that he loses.
Before you have a go, get your facts straight. My legal knowledge is minimum, but I managed to get them right.

All is well RR thanks for asking - and yes I know and kind of agree with what you are saying about Hendry's suitability for a coaches role, based on his experiences at previous clubs - but to be fair nobody has come out and said yet just what role he will be asked to do at the Rovers? How can people condemn him as 'not suitable' when his role is not known?

Maybe he will first team coach driver or security guard at Brockhall and yes I am being ridiculous but not much more ridiculous than the tirade of abuse the guy has to put up with cos of things he did 'wrong' in his private life. Let he who is without sin cast the first 'Nori' and all that... (Nori = Accrington Brick)

My view on it all is that I still see big Col at Wembley as a raw and quite young player who had just scored the winning goal in a cup final! And then later as the last man standing, Captain Braveheart on oh so many occasions for the Rovers....I choose to pass over the rest of the rubbish stuff - but then where would we be without our rose tinted goggles eh RR...remember throwing pigeon peas at each other in the Legs O man...happy days!

Well if you had bothered to read the Colin Hendry website it clearly says 'he rents a 5 bedroom house in a exclusive estate and he drives a huge four wheel car and also has a £2 MILLION pension fund that he can access, so maybe your facts are not as correct as you think.
.
Looks like he definitely DOES have the necessary funding to pay for solicitors fees should he wish to sue for libel - which he won't, because he hasn't got a leg to stand on.

Just two final points:
1. If he wants a lawyer, then he would be ill advised to choose me. I have never had any legal training.
2. If you can point out anywhere in any of the above posts where I actually defended Hendry, then please let me know.

Wasn't Robinson going to West ham a couple of weeks ago? That seems to have been another story plucked out of thin air.

The article also says that West ham have £4million for a striker to keep them in the Premiership. So a £1million transfer fee and £3million wages for the Yak or £60000 a week. Is he really that good.

Ah good day Mr Iiii1111 & Mr French

Aye, the sun is attempting in peaking out here too !

A well deserved feet up lapping up the rays is due after the turmoils down at Ewood, I would surmise !

I just cannot under any other circumstance see that which would put Hendry in line for a role at Ewood other than that which confronts us ?

The contentious issues that abound around BRFC are heartbreaking in so far as this should never have been allowed to develop in the first place ?

Not one person as come out and held up a responsible hand for the disaster that besieges BRFC.

I'm maybe being unreasonable in what I believe can be delivered down at Ewood but, it certainly doesn't feel and look that way ?

I find distasteful the 'Moat & Castle' scenario that as engulfed Ewood Park and, the ostracism I, personally feel.

I ask at this time what is their to support ?

The only aspect I truly feel in supporting are BRSIT and BRAG as I do not have any faith in the current regime and, let us not forget, these past 18 months have witnessed the most turbulent in BRFC's history. Even under Bill Fox, when his spuds were helping to pay the bills did BRFC sink this low.

In a nutshell we have careerists, egotistical maniacs, amateurs and out and out capitalist's plundering and, attempting to reinvent BRFC.

The pessimist in me states that it will not work in the foreseeable future with these people involved ?

Have a lovely days fella's :)

That is disgraceful LP slagging off a Rovers legend like Hendry...he may (in some eyes at least) be making a mistake in joining the current circus but the guy has more knowledge of football than Kean will ever have and he surely has to be given a chance at our club. I for one welcome him into the club and hope it can be the start of some decent people being brought back into the club.
Hendry, decent? tell that to his creditors. Knowledge of football? Why wasn't that evident in his previous, shoddy spells in management and coaching.
Great and passionate defender, yes but not the man for the moment, I'm afraid, in any capacity.
'Arry won't keep him when he's appointed manager!

Mr French, I have to disagree with you here over Hendrys inclusion onto the staff down at Ewood.

I wont go down the personal route with Hendry but, solely down to his ability or non ability as a coach. His track record thus far is poor to say the least.

For is it not that he would have forged his reputation long ago should he be of good repute in the game ?

His tenure at Blackpool was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster and, this is from folk's who have supported them for generations. The set up was a absolute shambles under him. The reasons as to why can be discussed by one and all ?

Our club is rotten to the core with these scurrilous odious imposters and, imo, this move for Hendry will end in tears for all party's.

My belief over Hendry is that he was a thoroughly outstanding defender through the outstanding coaching he received and, not that he his a thoroughly good coach ?

I believe the 'Odious One' is becoming marginalized in the world of Football and, he his scraping the bottom of the barrel over Hendrys possible inclusion ?

Nothing HE does down at Ewood will ever count for anything. He patently is not up to the job of managing and, I see nothing to change my mind.

Divide and Rule maybe a little extreme here but, we are not far off the truth as far as I'm concerned.

Hope all is well Mr French ?

Hope alls well mr woody....I'm
roughing it, mythos in one hand iPad in other 33c in the shade aegean in front blah blah...

anyway, enough about my hardships.....two reasons and two reasons only why Hendry is on board....

1.same nationality as Kean....stick together!

2. The powers that be see Hendry as a way of getting the fans onside because of his past status within the club......in reality 'big col' is just being used like the rest of us, admittedly he'll pick up a few pieces of silver in the process.
Ah good day Mr Iiii1111 & Mr French

Aye, the sun is attempting in peaking out here too !

A well deserved feet up lapping up the rays is due after the turmoils down at Ewood, I would surmise !

I just cannot under any other circumstance see that which would put Hendry in line for a role at Ewood other than that which confronts us ?

agree entirely MR RR about the future (what future) under the current regime...even a super optimist like I can clearly see that this disaster will not be dome till the current mob are all gone.....BRSIT and BRAG are doing things exactly the right way, step by step, softly softly catch a monkey....several monkeys in fact.

Le soleil has been shining bright here in SW France today - but this miserable mess at my beloved Rovers continues to cast a dark shadow over all these days.

When will we see the blue (and white) skies and bright sunshine once again over Ewood...

he rose tinted specs are also worn by the "Jack Walker did everything perfect people" He made a huge mistake in putting a complete stop of funds in the transfer funds after winning the championship. Liverpool & Man Utd have proven that you go out & buy a couple of good players, not expect the same group of players do it again. A lot of players could see BRFC had peeked & wanted to jump ship before Hendry did. Any why did the silly old fools lend Hendry more money than I will see with 5 years work, when they hardly knew him!
